Smooth Jazz Saxophone Sounds Return To OC

Kenny G

Kenny G comes to the Grove of Anaheim July 7

One of the first musicians brought up at the mention of Smooth Jazz is Kenny G, who will be playing with his band at The National City Grove of Anaheim July 7.

Playing the Saxophone since age 10, music is only one of Kenny G’s many talents. He is also a pilot, avid golfer and when he spoke to the OC Concert Guide it was during a break in renovating a wood table top.

“I have always been interested in how things work and how to be good at it,” said Kenny G. “My Friend, Nathan East of the band Fourplay, said you should try being a pilot. So I tried and have been flying for about 25 years now.”

Kenny G will be playing with his usual bands members that he has been touring with for more than 20 years. He likes to collaborate in the studio with other notable artists and says it usually comes down to who is not touring at the time to see if they would like to come and record with him.
